In the event series “The Green Museum”, initiatives for climate protection are presented and the contribution museums can make is highlighted. Experts in this field exchange ideas in discussions and lectures in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Vienna.
Networking and practical relevance
How sustainable can depots and museums be? This year’s event in the “The Green Museum” series explores this question. In view of the climate crisis, museums are called upon to do their bit to protect the climate. They are called upon not only to preserve and communicate culture, but also to actively promote environmental and climate protection. Museums naturally consume a large amount of resources and therefore contribute to the public discourse on environmental and climate protection. Climate-positive buildings and districts in historic building stock make an important contribution to this. The opportunities and potential are presented in the event series “The Green Museum”. Three dates in Berlin, Vienna and Düsseldorf will be used to report on climate protection initiatives. The aim is to preserve the cultural sector and cultural infrastructure. The urgency of the ecological transformation – the “Green New Deal for Museums and Depots” – will also be discussed, with a focus on sustainable museum buildings. Specific conditions at museums and exhibition halls will be considered together in order to derive fields of action and goals. The event offers a high level of practical relevance and also serves as a networking opportunity for people from museums, business, administration, science and research.
The dates are: 18.9.2024 (Berlin), 17.10.2024 (Vienna) and 5.11.2024 (Düsseldorf).
